Italian far right: Migrant labour crucial in Veneto

Despite the League’s anti-immigrant rhetoric in Italy’s Verona, immigrants are very much a part of the success of this region on the ground.

Veneto is one of the richest regions in Europe and an economic powerhouse of Italy. It is also where the country’s far-right party, now known as the League, has thrived.

Almost a third of the region voted for the League and its anti-immigration policies in recent elections. But migrant labour is crucial to the success of the region.
